Obtaining Design Allowables for Adhesives Used in the Bonded-Composite Repair ofAircraft

摘要

A technique is documented, along with its experimental validation, for obtainingengineering-standard design allowables for structural adhesives used in the bonded/composite repair of aircraft structure. The design of durable bonded-composite repairs is reliant on such design allowables. It is intended that allowables obtained using this technique replace the manufacturer's brochure data that is currently in use for some adhesives. Design allowables for the most
